- The sun is probably the most important source of renewable energy available today. Traditionally, the sun has provided energy for practically all living creatures on earth, through the process of photosynthesis, in which plants absorb solar radiation and convert it into stored energy for growth and development.he sun is probably the most important source of renewable energy available today.

Wind Is Fastest Growing Energy Resource The fastest growing energy source in the world today isn't oil, or coal, or hydrogen, or fuel cells, or any of the whiz-bangers on the frontiers of high technology. In fact, it's the same technology that pushed boats up the Nile River as early as 5000 B.C., and pumped water in China and pulverized grain in ancient Persia around 200 B.C.

Peak People: The Interrelationship between Population Growth and Energy Resources Before a coal population ceiling was reached, a new source of energy replaced coal’s dominance. Oil was the next source of energy to be commercialised. Oil is easier to handle than coal. It is cleaner burning and cheaper to transport and store, making it ideal as a transportation fuel.
